Apologies to Lynn Paulrodos…this story should have been published at the beginning of October 2017!

Lynn Paulrodos lives in northern France and has opened Avalon Animal Sanctuary as her collection of rescued animals has increased, which includes dogs, horses, goats… Here is the story of her most recent arrival – Destiny, a Gran Canary podenca found starving, chained up in a cave, and obviously used as a breeding machine!

‘DESTINY aka Cave Girl was found chained up in a cave in Gran Canary in August 2017 and taken to Pet Pals GC. She was under 8kgs and had a large mammary tumour with a cluster of smaller tumours inside and also tumours on her lungs—she’s only just 5yrs old!!

It was decided to give her a chance and she was operated on on 4 Sept –the vet removed 14 mammary tumours and 2 hernias!! I was asked to help her as it’s not known how long she will live and no-one else was interested to take her—she is also Filaria (heartworm) positive.

She arrived here on 3rd October in the evening and anyone would think she has lived here all her life—next step is to take to my vet to determine how ill she is.

Thank you to Pet Pals GC for giving her the chance of a new life here at Avalon Animal Sanctuary however long it may be.

Update 28 October… Has had her operation, the vet removed 14 mammary tumours and 2 hernias. She now weighs 15kg. The vet has found two more small mammary tumours which we are keeping our eye on.

If anyone would like to help with her vet bills or sponsor her food please contact me.
